My grandfather to make it every year - kept a large barrel in the basement.

Toss in a bit of yeast and let it do its thing - hard cider.

Old family tradition for him - you’d make a barrel of hard cider and tap it on Thanksgiving weekend - traditionally a homecoming weekend for everyone back to the old homestead from their factory jobs in the city.

I should do it again this year - actually still have a small grinder and press out in the storage building. Get a crate of apples and an old whiskey barrel and let it ferment for a couple of months.
